Player Valuation: £80m
All correct however Gana’s value in the books is very low, if we sell him then we can increase our wage bill by what ever he goes for plus £7 million which is why I think he’s nailed on to leave.
We barely see any benefit selling Walcott, Tosun, Schneiderlin etc....We see massive FFP benefits selling Gana.
Essentially this. I think this was also why they were happy to move Ross on as it happens.
I think the debate is around whether we spend now or in the summer. Given how Silva is doing I think it has increasingly moved towards in the summer. If Silva turns it around he gets to spend it, if not a new manager will be in.
We look to be trying to get some big deals done, Ndombele, Lozano, Felix etc. Some high profile young players that may only be available come the summer. Throw in Gana's fee as potential wage increases and they become far easier options.
